`13e it known that I, Mrs. A. FWARSTON, of Clinton, in the parish of East Felieiana, and State of Louisiana, have invented a new and improved Cooking-Apparatus; and I do hereby declare that the following is a full, clear, and exact description thereof, which will enable those skilled in the art to make and use the same, reference being had to the accompanying drawings, forming part of this specieatioh. l

The object of this invention is to construct an apparatus by which different kinds of food may be cooked or-boiled or .steamed in one general boiler, and be kcptseparate from each other, so that each shall retain its own flavor only. p

And the inventionconsistsin forming a number of separate vessels, with tubes attached to their -cove rs,

'and arranging them in a large vessel; andalso, in combination therewith, avessel with a perforated bottom, for

steaming vegetables or for lother purposes, as will be hereinafter described. i.

Figure 1 is a vertical section of my improved cooking-apparatus, showing the vessels `as they are arranged in the large boiler, the section being through a: a: of iig. 2.

Figure 2 is a top view of the saine with the cover oli". i

Figure 3 is a side View, showing' the situation of the pipe for introducing water into the large vessel.

Similar letters of reference indicate corresponding parts.

A is the large boiler, which is in the form of the-ordinary cooking-stove boiler, but which may be of any desired form and size. l B is a grated false bottom,` upon which the interior vessels G-rest. v I i The -vessels C are closed by tight-fitting covers D, cach eover'having a tube, E, with perforated caps F.,

Gr is a steamer, which is divided into two or morecompartmcnts.

Its bottom is perforated, and it rests on brackets 7L, which are attached to the sides of the main vessel, A.

J is the coverto the boiler A.

This'cover is perforated with holes suliioient to allow the steamer vapor to escape.

The perforations F allow thc vapor from the small vessels to escape. i

4As many Iof. these small vessels maybe used as may be desired or convenient, and they maybe of any shape and size, so thatv they correspond with the main-boiler as to the space they occupy.

`K'is thc feed-pipe, through which water is introduced into the boiler A.

By this arrangement, meats and vegetables of different kinds, as well' as pudding, may be eooked'separately, andso that the {lavors will not mingle with each other, thus saving much time and trouble in preparing them for` the table.

' I claimias new, and desire to secure by Letters' Patent- The arrangement, within the vessel A, upon the ,perforated bottom B thereof, of the vessels C, whose covers Dare formedw-it-h tubes E, having perforated uppcrends, whereby a communication is formed between the said vessels and the removable steamer G, supported upon internal lugs h, said steamer having partitions and a perforated bottom, all as herein shown and described for the purpose set forth.

The above specification of myinvention signed by me, this 23d'day of May, 1868.
